I've been poking around the forums and i've seen some referances made to plywood cores. I was just wondering how well they worked, seeing as how they wood be much cheaper than using regular hardwood laminates. Any info on stiffness/ durability wood be greatly appreciated.

does the horizontally laminated core create a stiffer ski? If so, then I could create a ski with a thinner core in order to save weight. Ski looks great by the way.

nevermind, I jusst read the post below mine and got all the answers.

I was just wondering if you guys purchased all your plastics (base, sidewall, topsheet, fiberglass) from snowboardmaterials.com. If there is any other places that sells this kind of stuff for a lot less, I would really like to know. Also, I was wondering if their was a way to sublimate graphics onto...

it would be easier to make skies with a vacuum press too because you can create a cap with the topsheet and not need to worry about making sidewalls.

hey, I was just wondering how much a difference the lower psi of vacuum press effects the finished ski. Also, if I was to make a heated vacuum press, wouldn't the heat shrink the bag that was put over the press?
thanks for your input, this is a great site!
